    Imagine being the guest walking into that fairytale at Christmas, and everything from the luxurious touches to the remarkable nostalgia of the nativity in the fireplace as her mother had done, I would probably burst into tears. You two are the most gracious and thoughtful hosts and just the most kind people, your joy at having guests and being around loved ones is contagious.

    This room is the picture of Christmas Comfort Chic sure to please the most discerning clientele, or as the case may be favorite family members. Well done you. So beautiful.
    I must admit as one whose been overwhelmed for a long periods of time in the past non-essential chores, new items, relocated items, and in my case tools pile up, it's a joy to see Stephanie and all those supporting her finally reach a point where they are getting caught up with the mountain of "non-essential" chores enough to steal time for an afternoon "extreme organizing DIY at the château". Organization is often a crucial task which suffers under the weight of everything else that needs urgent doing. And as always seems to be the case once one is organized, one realizes they function and feel a thousand times better after everything is in order. But......as most of us can attest, that organization has a tendency to be neglected when the work load becomes overwhelming again. Oh how our memories have the ever functioning selective programming. If only we could recall just how happy and efficient we were after we became organized. 😄. Stephanie and Philip effortlessly plucking exactly what the room required was a brilliant sight.
    Lastly, a huge thank you to Stephanie and Philip for spending many hours each day to bless us with these fun advent videos. I remember the extreme difficulty getting these out the last two years due to bandwidth issues prior to Ian 2.0 boosting reception and upload/download speeds. Few possess Stephanies patience and extreme dedication. Once she commits, she give it her all.
    Cheers!
